My *One* Most Rock-Solid OOP Prediction

No: HPFGUIDX 60646

I'm coming in rather late with this one since I was sure that 
someone else would come up with it as well, but I think I'll just 
get it on record before the deadline.

I've mentioned this in earlier posts, but I'm convinced that 
Hermione's capture and blackmail of Rita Skeeter will turn out to 
have been a HUGE miscalculation.  Hermione seems to be very, very, 
sure that she's got the upper hand with Rita, and that her threat of 
exposing her as an unregistered animagus will be sufficient to keep 
her quiet for a whole year.  However, I think that she's badly 
underestimated Ms Skeeter's cunning and malice and given all the 
very serious things she overheard just before her capture, I believe 
that some real damage will result from Hermione's decision to handle 
this situation on her own.

That's it really.
